Thought of the day # 325

After a study of some forty years and more of the great religions of the world, I find none so perfect ,none so scientific, none so philosophical and no so spiritual that the great religion known by the name of Hinduism. Make no mistake, without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil in to which India's roots are stuck and torn out of that she will inevitably wither as a tree torn out from its place. And if Hindus do not maintain Hinduism who shall save it? If India's own children do not cling to her faith who shall guard it? India alone can save India and India and Hinduism are one.

~Annie Besant (English theosophist)

For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.

Death is certain for the born, and rebirth is inevitable for the dead. You should not, therefore, grieve over the inevitable.

Thought of the day # 225

Be humble, be harmless, Have no pretension,

Be upright, forbearing;

Serve your teacher in true obedience,

Keeping the mind and body clean,

Tranquil, steadfast, master of ego,

Standing apart from the things of senses,

Free from self;

Aware of the weakness in mortal nature.

~ Bhagavad Gita 13:7-8
